he repeated warnings by secretary of state kerry and u.n. ambassador susan rice it would be a grave mistake, and mr. obama echoed those same warnings. >> any violation of ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity would be deeply destabilizing, which is not in the interest of ukraine, russia, or europe. it would represent a profound interference in matters that must be determined by the ukrainian people. it would be a clear violation of russia's commitment to respect the independence and sovereignty and borders of ukraine and of international loss. >> russia warned the u.s. against getting involved. the crimea area is largely ethnic russian. they speak the russian language, not ukrainian, and the sympathies are perhaps more with moscow than kiev. >> i think i can say that interference from our western colleagues has not been helpful, and they have a certain responsibility for those dramatic consequences and also a responsibility for not following through with their agreement they themselves brought about and affixed their signatures on

do you think secretary kerry should make a similar offer to go to ukraine? >> well, our government is certainly involved. our assistant secretary for europe, as we all know, was embarrassed by putin but she's intimately involved and she's a very capable woman, victoria nuland. i'm sure he will consider making that offer. the whole world is pretty dangerous at the moment, jake. there's a lot of places to cover and we're going to have a lot of middle eastern leaders in washington in the next couple of days meeting with the president. so i don't know when the right time to make that offer is. but should we have our eyes on this? should we be sober and careful? absolutely? this is in the interest of the united states and we do need to pay careful attention to what is happening here and we should not, it seems to me, miscalculate what is going on. saber rattling doesn't necessarily mean that there's a russian invasion. >> congresswoman jane harman, thank you. appreciate it. >>> thousands of documents from the clinton presidency just released, detailing everything
